Abstract
In today’s fast-paced world, digital marketing distinguishes itself from traditional
marketing techniques. This report establishes the foundational knowledge of digital marketing's
importance in promoting skin and hair care in the UK. A situational analysis reveals that the
premium beauty market is rapidly growing, with an annual growth rate of 8% from 2022 to 2027,
driven by increased consumer spending on high-end products. The target audience primarily
consists of women aged 25-45 outside the UK, seeking suitable skin and hair care treatments
tailored to their needs.
A SWOT analysis identifies strengths, such as low operational costs due to no initial
investment, a diverse product range, and targeting a niche market segment. However, weaknesses
include low brand awareness, reliance on Amazon, and limited internal capabilities due to scarce
resources. Opportunities lie in the rising consumption of personal care products, favorable UK
policies attracting more international visitors, the growing popularity of online shopping, and the
increasing demand for sustainable products. Nevertheless, Beautise faces threats from potential
changes in UK policies, economic downturns reducing consumer spending, market saturation, and
intense competition from numerous competitors.
The PESTLE analysis highlights a stable political environment, social demand, technological
advancements, legal compliance, and environmental sustainability. Customer insights reveal that
each segment has specific needs that must be addressed throughout their customer journey,
emphasizing the importance of understanding and meeting these unique requirements to enhance
engagement and satisfaction. Strategic goals include increasing awareness, driving engagement,
boosting conversions, and enhancing the customer experience. This situational analysis provides
a comprehensive overview aimed at attracting and retaining women travelers seeking skin and hair
care treatments in the UK.
The 6-month digital marketing strategy outlined in this report aims to attract women travelers
to the UK for skin and hair care treatments through a comprehensive approach. It begins with
market research and website optimization, followed by a robust content marketing plan featuring
weekly blog posts, video tutorials, and influencer collaborations.
In summary, achieving the goal of generating the required traffic through the website
necessitates a thorough analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the marketing plan,
overcoming internal and external challenges, and executing the plan with precision and timeliness.
